Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Thanks, everyone. It has been a busy few days. May get back to the sewing room tomorrow. HOpe your holidays were wonderful!

I've been having computer trouble. Curses & lots of bad words!!! Hope all well with my Perfect Ten buddies.

Did you guys notice I changed my avatar? It's a block from an antique quilt. So pretty.

Jane

Very pretty Jane

Gosh, everyone's changing their avatars....maybe I should just GET one! :-) ....very cool!

Sorry about your computer problems Jane...been there, done that x 2 !!!...and currently my monitor has vertical strips of light spaced across the screen which is VERY annoying and Jennie Doan on her tutorials sounds like a frog and all I see are $ signs!!!

Jane...question...you requested a preference of our blocks not being attached and you sent 5 blocks of the same pattern with different color combinations...got to thinking about it and I was wondering if maybe this is what you had in mind...each of us do 5 blocks of the same pattern in different color combos then your final quilt design would be 5 rows of 5 different patterns arranged in whatever manner you found pleasing. Am I anywhere close? I aim to please:)

The ones that I have for Jane are not all the same pattern, but have the same colors in them.

I thought about going ahead and making up blocks since they were traditional patterns in '30's fabric but decided to wait until I got hers to see what direction she was headed. Figured there was some reason she made 5 alike.

Hello, all! Spent yesterday in my sewing room CLEANING! I know my grandmothers are spinning in their graves but I threw away all pieces of batting that were less than 6" wide. That was liberating.

I am participating in a BOM at the LQS again this year and I am doing this Row Robin. My goal is to make the rest of my work this year about completing UFOs. I began by doing all my mending yesterday. I repaired four pairs of jeans, three flannel shirts and a quilt I made for my niece years ago.

I am having a migraine today but trying to get back in there to sew this afternoon. I now know where the fabric I want to use for Sherry's blocks is. I was in a real mess because my son actually took a desk and a dresser I used for sewing/storage and I just shoved stuff in places when he did.

Okay, I am rambling. It is the drugs! So, how is everyone else progressing? I am anxious to see.

Hi Mary, great to hear from you! You have your hands full but it looks like you're making great progress. Kudos to you for mending...it's on the very, very, very bottom of a​ny "todo" list I'll ever have! Funny...I'll rip and rip if I make a mistake sewing and not think a thing about it but mending is not fun! Thought about doing a BOM...which one did you choose? ?? Great job on the batting! It's hard to throw anything away what with prices skyrocketing but it is liberating to finally pitch those things we keep shoving to the side. Currently working on Jane's 1930's blocks...waiting on fabric...STILL! Really this RRR makes you look at different kinds of quilting I wouldn't have attempted before. After I started looking at the 1930 prints and patterns I fell in love with them! Would you do another RRR?
